Chau Bobe

Guide to Jewish Funeral
My wife's Mother's Mother passed away at 04:00 PM est on Thursday, December 28, 2006. Bobe (Yiddish for grandmother) and her immediate family being Jewish, the Rabbi was contacted, the Funeral arranged, the family called in and the preperations made for a service starting at noon on Friday, December 29, 2006, to be completed before 6:00 PM est, Friday, December 29, 2006 (the start of Shabbat). My wife's two younger sisters (She is the oldest of the three.) were already in towm for the holiday's. I having injured my eye (scratched cornea) stayed at my mother in law's home with my brother in law (wife's youngest sister's husband), my two children (boy 4 y.o, girl 2 y.o.) and my three nephews (middle sister's children). We all did well. We were told the funeral and graveside services where both very well done. We all got together after ward at my wife's uncle's home with all the family and friends and neighbors to cofort one another and pay our respects to Bobe's life by sharing our memories of hew with each other. We all cut out by five so that everyone could get home for Shabbat. We then reconvined at 6:00 Pm est on Saturday, December 30, 2006 (immidieatly after Shabbat for the start of Shivah.
Bobe had given me a yarmulke and Jackie had helped me learn enough transliterated (phonic) hebrew, that I was prepared and able to take part.
My family are faithful AngloSaxon, Ecumenical, Catholic, Pentecostal, Jehova Witness, Aztec, Episcapalian, etc.
It is very odd for me to be in a crowd of individuals who are doing what should be done, because "it should be done" rather then because they believe it to be the right thing to do or the right way to do a thing. It was odd finding myself to be one of the few who could keep up with the ritual.
It was the first time i felt accepted by anyone in the family other then my wife, my father in law and Bobe.
Feeling accepted; being useful;
Study to show thyself approved; a workman worthy of the master's hand.
